I've added a few things after seeing this article in "Did You Know?". I added four external links to the Auschwitz Album, Grossmann collection, Höcker Album, and Henryk Ross collection. They're in alphabetical order; two of them are photos taken of the Lodz Ghetto by victims and two are of Auschwitz-Birkenau and taken by perpetrators, so perhaps grouping them that way would be preferable. The other photos and collections listed under "See Also" — the Stroop Report, the Sonderkommando photographs and the two Einsatzgruppen photos — are already present in their respective articles.
Perhaps the article should mention that the "Warsaw Ghetto Boy" photograph was part of the Stroop Report, since the photo is part of the article, but I don't know how best to do that. It might also be desirable to mention, or add links in "See Also" to, the photos taken of the Liepāja massacres, as well as the Treblinka album of Kurt Franz. This article could never have an exhaustive list, but those photos do come to mind. Roches (talk) 23:35, 28 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Good ideas, but I think it is best to create articles about other notable photos and collections first, to show that those photos are more notable than the rest. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:14, 29 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
